BMW has by now established this is an April fool’s joke. But this press publish extends with the flight of the imagination that this M3 pickup is the 4th body style version variant in the M3 serial after the vehicle, adaptable and sedan.

The only query is, is there any truth to the specifications they furnish here and we can merely take them at their word on that.

The M3 lift up comes with a 309 kW/420 PS that is 414 bhp power plant and a back load capacity of 450 kg – which straits sensible enough. The cd quotient that is the aerodynamic flow in the wind channel is the same as on the M3 Coupe and its peak speed is 300 km/h that is 186 mph.

The spy shot of this car was spotted while doing its rounds at the Nürburgring and this is a real fact. The output range is precisely as the 4.0 liter V8 that goes into the M3. The M3 also features 400 Nm that is 295 lb-ft of torsion.

BMW apprehends to this constituting a rarity prototype in the press release and it can said to be very true confidently.

Wide-ranging drive and suspension technology from the BMW M3 can be believed to be true since testing has been finished on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife – 420 hp and 450 kg load capacity – world first showing on 1 April 2011.

Under the most rigid secretiveness, the world’s first superior pickup has been produced at the BMW M GmbH developing centre. The most sporting model by far in this fomite class, the BMW M3 Pickup will arouse the visions of all automobilists with a profound admiration of top show coordinated by an enthusiastic sensible bent. 309 kW/420 hp under the cap and a back-axle load capacity of up to 450 kilos take the stamp BMW M association between race-tailored forcing delight and daily usefulness to a completely new level. This only one of its kind vehicle with widespread test and set-up drives on the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife.

With this fomite, BMW M GmbH once more renders proof of its excellent capability in formulating and building top-quality, individual dream cars.

The curb weight of the world’s quickest pickup undercuts that of the BMW M3 Convertible by approximately 50 kilograms. Getting rid of the Targa roof knocks off an additional 20 kg whilst at the same time letting down the car’s center of gravity. This most extraordinary experience of top-down driving delight in a BMW M3 thus blends hand in hand with additional optimized energetic dealing.

The sensible characteristics of the BMW M3 Pickup are no less telling. Maximal load capability has been lifted to 450 kilograms. The load bed of the BMW M3 Pickup is clothed in top-quality integrated aluminum sheeting and furnishes the largest cargo capacity ever extended on a BMW M vehicle.

In spite of these indisputable stand-out characters, the BMW M3 Pickup will not be leading for the golf course or serial growth, but will hold back its position as a single one-off. It is appropriated for use as a workshop carry vehicle for BMW M GmbH.

Trapped on camera lately, this profoundly disguised vehicle appears to be the new 2012 BMW 3 series. And even as this is clearly merely a model, the overall condition of the car suggests that the new 3 series will be all set for manufacture even earlier than it was anticipated.

From official issues it is known that the new 3 series will have an elongated wheelbase that will develop to about 2.8 meters in length and this will permit BMW to broaden the car causing the ride a lot more relaxed.

Alternatively, the new BMW car will boast below the bonnet either a 1.6 l 148 hp turbo unit or a 2.0 l 242 hp turbo engine. Also, for speed there is a 3.0 l 320 hp turbocharged engine that will actually shift the car.

The new 3-Series is programmed to be brought out later this year, perhaps at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
